Kansas City Style Ribs Recipe

Ingredients

Dry Rib Rub:

One-quarter cup onion powder
Two tablespoons smoked paprika
Two tablespoons brown sugar
One tablespoon canning salt
One tablespoon chili powder
Two teaspoons black pepper
One teaspoon oregano
One teaspoon garlic powder
One-half teaspoon curry powder
One-half teaspoon cumin
One-half teaspoon ground red pepper
One-quarter teaspoon cinnamon
One-eighth teaspoon ground cloves


Mix the dry ingredients together, then coat the pork rib slabs on all sides with the mixture. Let the ribs rest at room temperature for one hour, or put them in the fridge and let them rest overnight if you like to plan ahead. It's not necessary to let the ribs rest that long...the meat is not really that thick, so one or two hours will be plenty of time for the seasonings to do their work.

Using hickory for wood smoke flavor, smoke the slabs at 225 degrees Fahrenheit for three hours. Check for doneness at that time. If not quite ready, give them another hour and test them again. When done, brush on a thick coating of your favorite barbecue sauce, layer on the white bread, and wrap the slabs in foil.
